“Evil pursueth sinners” (Proverbs 13:21)! (but blessings shall “overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.” – Deuteronomy 28:2)
I really got a kick out of these verses!
“So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon Thee; that Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.” (Psalm 104:25-27)
“All thine enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they hiss and gnash the teeth: they say, ‘We have swallowed her up: certainly this is the day that we looked for: we have found, we have seen it.'” (Lamentations [fitting book!] 2:15)
How about this one?
“Let them not say in their hearts, Ah, so would we have it: let them not say, We have swallowed him up.” (Psalm 35:25)
Actually what I though of first was something like Psalm 27:12: “Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies…”
This one will work too, much more realistic:
“They that go down to the sea in ships, that do business in great waters; These see the works of the Lord, and His wonders in the deep.” (Psalm 107:23-24)
The BEST one I found [so far] was Psalm 124 – look it up!
“Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before” (Philippians 3:13)!

Whoa! Great verses Don and Mike! I’m amazed that there are so many that fit so well!
I really like yours, Michael! Hillarious when you try to picture the relation. Especially the two from Psalm 104 and 124! 🙂
